I’m still in recuperation and cleanup mode, but here are a few pretty nifty things that have popped up on my feed reader lately. enjoy!
Risotto that’s not Risotto? Yep, it’s made with barley!! Healthy even!!!mushroom barley “risotto” from the brown eyed baker.

Just in time to start planning for the holidays, this magazine from Creature Comforts is full of gorgeous ideas: diy decorating, gift wrapping, recipes, peeks inside artists’ studios, little freebies, gift ideas and so much more!http://www.creaturecomfortsblog.com/gifted-magazine

I hate posting such a downer about candy right before Halloween, but if you haven’t seen this, maybe it will make you re-think where you buy your candy, since some of the biggest names in chocolate for trick-or-treaters are also responsible for some of the last remaining child slavery.http://www.thedarksideofchocolate.org/
(and if you’re seeing it too late for this year, it’s still good info to have. Maybe if enough people say something, we can make it change?)

So you may have heard me mention the EcoEtsy street team before. They are really focused on not only highlighting Etsy sellers with earth-friendly business practices, but the team really helps each other find better ways to run their businesses, as well as holding events to fund-raise for different causes.
I’ve been a member for a few years, but a few weeks ago they put out a call for a business tips blog editor, and it seemed like as good a time as any to try and give a little back. Since I’m currently sort of in the middle of re-organizing and trying to answer a lot of questions in my own business, it seemed like sharing my experiences could possibly help others going through the same process.
Friday they did a little introductory post on their blog, which was really sweet. Thank you guys!

My first post for them is coming up on the 16th of July, and it’s going to be about the process of writing a business plan, since that’s what I’m currently mired in the middle of.
Anyway, you can check out all of the members and the team blog right over here:http://blog.ecoetsy.com/
